lost something in the m20

[VRSTLE]

i dropped a pencile into the farthest foward oil hole on the engine block.

i got a flashlight and looked down the hole it was not visable anymore
Where did it go.

do i have to take the oil pan off to get it

[lolcantturn]

that's pretty funny and unfortunate.

[VRSTLE]

whats the worst that could happen if i keep a pen in my oil pan, assuming its in the oil pan

[VRSTLE]

to make matters worse its a ix

[jlevie]

The pencil is now probably in the pan where it could get caught up and shredded by the crankshaft. I don't know what that might do the the engine, but I can't imagine it would be good. Time to pull the oil pan.

how does this have anything to do with an IX, why in the world is there a pencil near your open engine anyway?

you gotta drop the front subframe on an IX which is loads easier than pulling the motor I believe. and even then dropping the front subframe is lolololol terrible

he said putting his head on, no wonder he lost a pen in his head, his damn head wasn't on straight.

I will most likely get ground up and probably after time degenerate, seeing it is wood. it may just stay in the pan as I can't see it being sucked up by the pump. I know of people putting worse shit into the motor to quiet knocking noises from the block. Saw dust for instance...but as mentioned, to get it out would require to remove pan..and if you do that you might as well replace the pan gasket and clean up the block area. that really has to suck..sorry to hear..

[MR 325]

^ No fucking shit he would replace the pan gasket if he dropped the pan.

[VRSTLE]

it is in the front of the block so could i maybe just pull of the gear and just pull it out from here. it looks like alot less bolts than the oil pan which is sucking a big fat d right now

[VRSTLE]

and there is no oil pan gasket on the ix btw just a sealent
